28,Bioinformatics tools,,none,"1. Further develop RBR, a tool for masking repeats. This can include a) optimize (using !FastPackedString and/or a new internal data structure); b) extend functionality.

For more details, [http://www.ii.uib.no/~ketil/bioinformatics/soc/rbr.html click here].

2. Develop a tool for annotation/classification of sequences. This would involve computation on and visualization of graphs (experience with the latter would be really great).

For more details, [http://www.ii.uib.no/~ketil/bioinformatics/soc/annot.html click here].

Prior bioinformatics knowledge is not a requirement. Please contact me for details.
